WORD!

I thought about loading 5 tuners and the Music Essentials bundle for $8 but opted to look more authentic.

Yep. Is Playbox worth the $24? Anyone use it/have it?

I'm on Riffer 3.1.2

I just heard back from Ralph—just as helpful as ever, manning every desk in the shop. I did ask if anything was on the horizon but haven’t heard back. It was only an hour ago. I find it hard to get my head around it at times but that’s me bichin’ about the interface more than anything. The guy that did a multi-part in-depth YouTube series on Jamstix 4 was WAY too deep, and there’s not much else in terms of tutorials.

Totally confusing unless you happen to have an answer. Please provide the thread name or search term.

I just emailed Ray for help with a missing password. I'll post an update if/when I hear back.

A.M.E.N.

Tonebooster EQ4 has some pretty impressive features, too. All right around our sweet spot of 29 buckaroos. I have a bunch of their plugins and both this and the reverb are excellent. Great value, the lot. https://www.toneboosters.com/tb_equalizer_v4.html

Yes, but if you got Essentials and something like the Friedman Naked library, you could go a loooong way. That expansion is killer.

TH-U will always have a spot in projects here - the sounds are good/great, the layout is simple, it's extremely flexible, and that CPU usage is barely noticeable. There's really not a lot it can't do. If Helix had the interface of TH-U, I would stop looking for amp sims now. As it is, Helix provides great tones but is uninspiring to me. TH-U is so easy to pull on a track and do 90 of what Helix does, with a fraction of the CPU. At half off, it's a pretty good deal. Plus you get Supercabinet and the ability to use Rig Models. I quit the Rig Model rabbit hole because it was getting ridiculous and I couldn't trial the rigs, which would cut down on the ones I didn't end up liking.

Yeah, this update was a biggie. Major cab update (!), a new amp head, etc. I love this thing even if it hogs the covers.

Damn. I thought you were gonna say "you push this little button thingy and then its done."

...and you're on the deals forum? What model year are you saving for...2056?

Working great in S1 here but it definitely is CPU hungry. I print to tracks pretty early on so I’m not tempted to make the track perfect, and it’s no longer an issue once that’s done.

We were waiting for you to come back!

Yup.

I just logged off work to have a play with this and I have to say....it's really good. I love the cab updates - a ton more flexibility and more variety. The new amps are excellent as well - more options, and good ones to boot. Presets? Yeah, they took some time with these new ones. I've used Helix Native as my main amp sim for a long time now but still struggle with the layout. There's little joy in tinkering if you like to look at what the simulation is based on. It's just not my cup of tea but it sounds great for my purposes. With this update (and with the prior Amproom experience) it's just a joy to see the hardware so beautifully rendered. And the sounds are top-notch, to boot. I don' t make decisions based only on looks and sound, but on workflow, too. Having said that, I really appreciate working with software that has been tested with an audience that appreciates quality from a bunch of different angles. In this case, the design is definitely something that one should consider. Hard to believe they were selling Amproom for $49 earlier this year. I can't wait to jump into this more later in the week.

Daaaaaaayum. I love me some Amproom - nice free updated, even though it doesn't look like CPU hit has been addressed. I have to find some way to keep the current version so my presets still work. It's not exactly clear what happens to your instances of Amproom already in projects.

At least it wasn’t Francisco Partners or whatever they call themselves now.

Dammit.

Yes, it IS that messed up.

They just gave me your code! Must be a proximity thing 'cos I could hear your lack of excitement from my patio, Larry.

Skipping this until there's a discount on the upgrade - it's tempting, but $69 is more than I want to pay and I wouldn't use the new additions as much as the core plugins from the FX2 list.

Delete your least favorite Soundpaint library and it will make room for X copies of Scaler. I haven't even scratched the air above the surface of Scaler and I'm blown away at what it can do.
